On November 3, 2014 City Council provided approval to award and execute contracts with six (6) firms for Rapid Response and Minor Projects for Infrastructure and two (2) firms for Rapid Response and General Grouting Repair or Replacement of Drainage Wells.  The following firms were awarded Contracts:

These Contracts allow the Public Works staff to respond quickly to infrastructure deficiencies, many of which are sanitary or storm sewer repair projects.  At the time of a project, all firms are invited to submit a bid in response to a City Solicitation and work is awarded to the lowest responsive bidder.  Individual authorizations do not exceed $300,000.00 unless they are deemed an emergency. 

Currently the total annual contract amount for all service authorizations is $3,000,000.00.  Approval is requested to increase the contract amount to $5,000,000.00.  Based on historical usage, this increase will maintain Public Works’ ability to provide timely response to infrastructure and drainage well problems when they occur.

Authorize the Chief Procurement Officer to amend the contracts as indicated above to an estimated annual amount of $5,000,000.00, subject to review and approval by the City Attorney’s Office.
